DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• BEACON SaaS Managed Solution Transforms City Of Avon's Water System

  Once a small town not far from Cleveland, the City of Avon is now one of the fastest growing communities in northeast Ohio.

• Technology That Supports Water Conservation

  While water conservation is a worthwhile practice anywhere and at any time of the year, the need to conserve precious water resources is especially critical in communities affected by drought.

• Assessing Methods Of Measuring Microplastics In Water

  Microplastics have been found in surface waters worldwide — including in ponds, rivers, and the ocean. However, our ability to characterize microplastics in the environment is limited by the lack of technologies for rapidly and accurately identifying and quantifying microplastics. Although standard methods exist for collecting and preparing microplastic samples, the methods for analyzing samples and actually identifying microplastics within the sample are not as robust.

• Keeping Track Of Your Control Valve Information

  Water production and distribution in the City of Redlands, California, is managed by the Municipal Utilities & Engineering Department and is supplied from two water supplies, Mill Creek and the Santa Anna River. Treatment is provided at two conventional water treatment plants, Tate WTP and Hinckley WTP, each capable of producing approximately 14 MGD. Water is then fed into 7 different pressure zones due to elevation changes through a series of pump stations.

• Water Quality Testing: Solutions From Catchment To Waste

  Globally, over 80% of the wastewater generated by society flows back into the environment without being treated or reused. Clean water is an essential part of daily life, from catchment all the way through to wastewater treatment, therefore analysis throughout the whole cycle is crucial. Whether in lakes, pipes, or bottles, we can accompany you with our range of instruments, test kits and applications for your water and wastewater needs.

• Minimizing Water Outages With Targeted Valve Control

  The Town of Holly Springs, NC, used Hydra-Stop's Insta-Valve 250 insertion valves to repair a leak in a transmission line without causing water service outages to over 40 residences. This solution saved the town from widespread outages and other costs associated with a system shutdown, providing better control, cost reduction, and long-term value.
